I enjoy reading Luke, in many places he has bits of information that help explain things from the other gospels.
In Luke 12 for example, there is one section that is paralleled in both Matthew and Mark (though more closely in Matthew), and there is one verse in Luke that is not in the other gospels. [...]

I started reading through the book of Matthew again recently, and in Matthew 2, it talks about the three wise men (or magi in some translations) that came from the East. Something I’ve heard and read many times, but I got to thinking, why was it a star?
1Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem [...]

I hear Christians referred to a lot as New Testament Christians, but what does that actually mean? Christians didn’t exist prior to the New Testament, before the New Testament there were no Christians, Christians only came into existance after Christ came to earth, prior to that there were no Christians, or I guess you could [...]

The concept of the rapture is an interesting one. It is Biblically based, but the popularised concept in the “Left Behind” series, isn’t really Biblically correct at all. If anything, it’s backwards.
I’ve been studying this a bit, and the key things to the rapture concept seem to me to be, the saved will be taken [...]

Recently I’ve been listening to a series of prophecy seminars presented by Pr David Asscherick. They’re quite interesting studies, I just thought I would share a few verses with you though that he pointed out which compare the characters of Christ and Satan, so clearly.
Have a look at Isaiah 14:12-14:
12How art thou fallen from heaven, [...]

Deuteronomy I found to be an extremely emotional and moving book, looking at how far the Israelites have come since leaving Horeb, reiterating and reinforcing the law, and ending with Moses’ death.
It consists of a number of heartfelt speeches given to the Israelites by Moses, and it gives some insight into some things I found [...]

Numbers is quite interesting, like Leviticus it delves a lot into the laws outlined, but rather than just listing and explaining them, it uses situations that arise in the Israelites journey to show the laws and how they affect the people of Israel.
There were a few sections in it that I found quite interesting, particularly [...]

I found Numbers a really interesting book to read, it elaborates on and explains the law established in Leviticus with real examples. It also provides general information and statistics on the people of Israel, which I thought was interesting too.
The first chapter of Numbers is entirely a census that God told Moses to take and [...]

This section of Leviticus continues on from the first 12 chapters in explaining the law and elaborating on it. There are many interesting laws through here, but there were a couple of things I noticed in particular.
The first is that Leviticus 18:22 is the first reference in the law that homosexuality is wrong. Sodom and [...]

I find it quite interesting that, even before Christ came to be the ultimate sacrifice, God made it as easy as possible for the poor to come to Him, as well as the wealthy, as is illustrated in Leviticus 12:8, if a woman can’t afford a lamb, she is to provide doves or pigeons as [...]
